Ingredients
Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.
1 pound ground turkey
1 (8 ounce) box dirty rice mix, (such as Zatarain’s®)
2 1/2 cups water
1 tablespoon avocado oil or other vegetable oil
4 large red or green bell peppers, sliced in half lengthwise and seeded
14 1/2 ounces stewed tomatoes
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground turkey in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain. Add dirty rice mix, water, and vegetable oil; bring to a simmer, reduce the heat, and cook until rice is tender, about 25 minutes.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil over high heat. Add pepper halves, 4 at a time, and cook until beginning to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a colander to drain.
Spread stewed tomatoes in a 9×13-inch casserole dish. Place pepper halves on top of tomatoes, cut side up. Stuff each with dirty rice mixture; sprinkle with cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven until filling is heated through and cheese is melted, about 15 minutes.
Cook’s Note
These would also be delicious made with ground beef.
